This handcrafted Shiva wooden mask is a powerful exploration of contrast—raw, natural wood on one side and bold painted expression on the other. The half-painted composition symbolizes balance, duality, and transformation, core themes deeply associated with Shiva.
Intricately carved and finished by hand, the mask highlights fine detailing in the crown and facial contours, while the painted half introduces a vivid narrative element that draws the eye. The seamless blend of texture and color creates a sculptural artwork that feels both ancient and contemporary.
